Chapter 47 Embrace and Shield
Many years after leaving Raccoon City, middle-aged Uncle Leon racked his brains one sleepless night, unable to understand why he encountered such a large crocodile in the sewers on his first day of work.
After being crushed to death for the third time in the murky sewage by the crocodile like an insect, Fang Qingzhou also couldn't understand the answer to this question.
"How am I supposed to fight such a big crocodile?!" Fang Qingzhou lay on the ground in the resurrection space, already ready to give up.
He just revived again, proving that this Thunder Crocodile really doesn't need to chew to eat him.
He had just slid straight down the crocodile's mouth into its stomach like a slide, but he shot himself before he came into contact with the stomach acid.
"System, did you tamper with this giant crocodile?" Fang Qingzhou asked.
If he remembered correctly, this Thunder Crocodile, while quite imposing in the game, was at most a minor boss in the sewer section, not even in the same league as the Tyrant or G-Williams, the core monsters of the main storyline.
According to the game's setting, it was merely fattened up by the T-virus and had not undergone any biological weapon modifications. Theoretically, it shouldn't have such outrageous combat power, and it was killed by Uncle Leon in just two minutes in the game.
Why does this crocodile act like it's in berserk mode when it comes to him?
He strongly suspected that the system had made things more difficult for him.
The system has not interfered with anything in this world.
"Then why is this crocodile so strong? And it runs so fast! The crocodiles in the game can't outrun Leon!" Fang Qingzhou continued to ask.
This is the real world. Isn't it expected that a crocodile over 20 meters long would be that strong? Being huge doesn't mean being slow. Even Usain Bolt can't outrun an elephant sprinting at full speed. Blue whales are also high-speed whales in the ocean.
[Furthermore, the crocodile is faster than Leon in the game, but you can slow it down using the surrounding trash. Please make good use of your environment.]
The system seemed to get impatient with Fang Qingzhou's questions and rattled off a string of words.
Fang Qingzhou listened to the system's explanation and felt that it made some sense, but something still felt off.
He had previously tried to use trash to stop the crocodiles, just like Leon in the game, but as the system said, this is the real world.
In the game, the crocodile is blocked by a bunch of trash for game balance, but in the real world, the Thunder Crocodile will smash everything in its path.
Fang Qingzhou could only compete with this giant crocodile in terms of sheer speed, and the trash would not only fail to affect the crocodile, but would actually hinder Fang Qingzhou's speed.
He can't crush everything in front of him like a tank.
"Fang Qingzhou... don't panic... you still have 798 resurrection coins to use... you'll definitely be able to get to a safe place." Fang Qingzhou sat up from the ground and took a deep breath.
He remembered clearly that during this sewer chase in the game, an exposed gas pipe would appear ahead. The crocodile would bite the pipe during the chase, and the player could then seize the opportunity to shoot and blow up the gas pipe, killing the crocodile with the explosion.
As long as Fang Qingzhou gets to that pipe, he can take down this Thunder Crocodile.
He still had 798 resurrection coins, and he refused to believe he couldn't outlast this Thunder Crocodile.
Having set his goal, Fang Qingzhou rallied his spirits and pressed the revive button.
Fang Qingzhou stepped into the knee-deep sewage again, with heavy footsteps approaching behind him, shaking the floating garbage on the water and causing ripples to spread out.
Unlike the previous two times, he didn't rush to run. Instead, he first looked up and glanced at his surroundings.
Eagle Eye ability allows him to clearly distinguish the outlines and details of distant objects even in the dimly lit sewers.
He could vaguely see a thick gas pipe about 500 meters ahead, running diagonally across the ceiling, its surface painted with yellow warning paint.
After Fang Qingzhou leveled up his Bristleback to intermediate level, it was already considered a low-end version of Captain America.
Although Bristleback's main strength lies in defense, its all-around power enhancement allows it to rival Usain Bolt in speed.
It takes Bolt 47.9 seconds to run 500 meters, but with the obstacles of water and trash, it would take him at least a minute to get there.
He had to figure out a way to avoid being caught by the crocodile in the next minute or so.
After analyzing his situation, Fang Qingzhou felt it was getting dark, and at the same time, he smelled that familiar fishy stench.
The next moment he found that his upper and lower body had separated.
He died again, and a large crocodile that rushed over bit him in two.
Fang Qingzhou reappeared in the resurrection space, but this time he was not discouraged and decisively clicked to revive.
The moment his feet touched the sewage, he rushed out.
He pushed the enhanced leg strength of the Bristleback to its limit, each step he took in the sewage creating a large splash of murky water.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
The outline of the yellow gas pipe became clearer and clearer; he could even see the peeling paint on the pipe's surface and the rusty bolts on the valve.
But just then, he tripped over the trash under his feet and fell face-first into the filthy sewer.
Before he could even get up, Thunder Crocodile arrived.
The next moment, he returned to the resurrection space and continued to resurrect without hesitation.
In the subsequent resurrections, Fang Qingzhou was tripped up by different trash in different places and then killed by Thunder Crocodile in different ways.
Having survived twenty-five deaths, Fang Qingzhou knew every part of the five-hundred-meter-long sewer like the back of his hand.
After his twenty-sixth resurrection, Fang Qingzhou finally slid through the gas pipe.
Then he heard a dull metallic clang and tearing sound behind him. The Thunder Crocodile's mouth had snapped into the gas pipe during its attack, tearing a gap in the thick metal pipe and spewing out high-pressure gas with a hissing sound.
"Is my flesh delicious?!" Fang Qingzhou's eyes were bloodshot, and his anger had reached its peak.
He decisively drew his gun and repeatedly pulled the trigger. The bullets struck the Thunder Crocodile's head, sparking and instantly igniting the gushing gas.
The explosion occurred in that instant, and the shockwave sent Fang Qingzhou flying.
He felt like a leaf caught in a hurricane, tumbling twice in the air before crashing heavily into the sewage.
My ears were ringing, my vision was completely white, and I couldn't tell which way was which or which way was up.
He lay in the sewage, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted, and his back burned as if it had been branded with a red-hot iron plate.
This is the result after a mid-level Bristleback has received three times the damage reduction, so you can imagine how powerful the explosion was.
When he finally climbed out of the sewage, he saw that the Thunder Crocodile was completely still.
The crocodile's head was blown beyond recognition; its upper jaw was almost separated from its body, with only a few tendons connecting it. The charred flesh was smoking, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench of burning flesh.
[Slay 1 mutated crocodile, experience points +500]
Looking at the Thunder Crocodile whose head was almost completely blown apart, Fang Qingzhou didn't feel happy as he had imagined; he only felt extremely tired.
He continued walking forward, carrying the gun and limping slightly.
"Leon! Over here!" Not long after, Ada Wong's voice came from ahead.
Fang Qingzhou looked up and saw Ada's red figure appear on a high platform in front of the pipeline. She had somehow crossed the maintenance passage above the water tank and was lowering a metal retractable staircase down.
Fang Qingzhou climbed up the stairs.
"Leon, are you alright? I didn't expect that crocodile to suddenly appear." Ada reached out and pulled him up after he climbed up, and said softly.
She didn't expect that the Thunder Crocodile would appear as soon as Fang Qingzhou jumped down.
Fang Qingzhou didn't say anything. He suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Ada Wong tightly. His body began to tremble slightly.
This was the first time he had died so many times, several times more than the number of times he had died during his previous two transmigrations.
This is real death. No matter how realistic the death in a virtual game made by the system is, it is not even in the same league as real death.
Although each death was mitigated by the Bristleback's effect, making the pain less intense, it wasn't a pleasant experience.
The twenty-five consecutive deaths had pushed him to his mental limit.
He had originally thought he could survive hundreds of deaths, but now it seems he overestimated himself.
He was ultimately just an ordinary person who was suddenly caught up in all of this; he survived zombies, Lickers, and tyrants.
However, after being brutally slaughtered by the over twenty-meter-long, completely beyond his comprehension, thunderous crocodile, he had to admit that he had broken down.
When Ada was suddenly hugged by Fang Qingzhou, she was clearly stunned. Her right hand instinctively pressed against Fang Qingzhou's chest, ready to push him away. After all, Fang Qingzhou, who had just been rolling around in the stinky water, didn't smell very good.
However, after feeling Fang Qingzhou's slightly trembling body, she hesitated to exert force with her hand.
In the end, he hugged Fang Qingzhou back and gently patted his back, as if comforting a frightened child.
She let the dirty water and crocodile blood on his body stain her relatively clean red bodycon dress.
"It's alright...it's alright..."
Fang Qingzhou didn't know how long he had been holding her; it could have been a minute or five minutes.
During this time, his mind was blank; he didn't think about anything, but simply buried his face in Ida's shoulder, feeling the warmth of another living person transmitted through his soaked clothes.
She had a faint scent of perfume on her, which, mixed with the surrounding stench, was like a thin thread that slowly pulled him out of something dark.
After a long while, he finally let go of her hand.
"Sorry, I got your clothes dirty." Fang Qingzhou took a step back, his voice hoarse as if he were a different person.
He has regained his composure. After all, he has experienced many big events, and he will only become more resilient in the future. He has begun to shed his identity as an ordinary person, since ordinary people will not have these experiences.
Moreover, he craved power even more; he didn't want to be constantly running away in fear.
Ada glanced down at her soiled bodycon skirt but didn't care much. She was already crawling down the sewer, so what did it matter if it was clean or not?
She raised her head, her expression returning to its usual calm and aloofness, but a trace of the gentleness she had used to comfort him remained in her voice.
"It's going to get dirty sooner or later anyway, do you still want to keep going? Going back the way you came is fine, but continuing forward might lead to even more dangerous monsters."
"Keep moving forward, I will protect you," Fang Qingzhou said firmly.
Turning away was out of the question; he didn't want to spend his whole life in this world, living in constant fear of a biohazard crisis.
His company in the real world is just starting out, and he will become incredibly wealthy sooner or later.
Moreover, after Ada failed to push him away, he made up his mind that he would never let Ada die down there.
Based on the strength of that Thunder Crocodile, the following challenges will definitely be much more difficult than in the game.
Even if Ada is a super female agent, there's still the risk of things going wrong.
In the game, Ada survives to the very end thanks to the storyline's protection, but in this real Resident Evil world, there is no such thing as storyline protection.
"Is that so... then let's keep going." Ada's lips curled slightly. She didn't say anything more, but simply turned around and continued walking forward.
Fang Qingzhou quickly followed, and under Ada's guidance, the two passed through a series of crisscrossing pipes, finally boarding an industrial elevator hidden in the side of a giant drainage pipe.
"This is a chemical plant that Umbrella uses to conceal its underground facilities," Ada explained, leading Fang Qingzhou forward.
Not long after, the two saw a blonde woman in a white coat squatting on the ground examining a corpse.
"Annie Birkin, I didn't expect to find you so easily." Ada looked at the woman with some surprise, but despite her surprise, she didn't slow down her movements at all. She decisively raised her pistol and aimed it at the woman in the white coat in front of her.
"Hand over the G virus."
Annie Birkin slowly stood up, looked at the gun in Ada's hand, and calmly said, "Want the G-virus? Don't even think about it."
She then took off running and rushed around a corner.
"Don't run!" Ada quickly chased after him, but the next moment a hail of bullets came from around the corner.
"Ada!" Fang Qingzhou rushed forward and tackled Ada to the ground, using his back to shield her from the hail of bullets coming from around the corner.
几枚子弹击中了他的后背,顿时痛感上涌,他被丧尸咬过,被舔食者爆过头,被暴君揍过,被雷霆大鳄鱼咬成两截过,这还是第一次被子弹击中。
Ada decisively stood up and fired back.
After realizing that she hadn't killed the two men, Anne Birkin immediately closed the chemical plant's gates.
Seeing Anne Birkin escape, Ada didn't immediately chase after her. Instead, she knelt down in front of Fang Qingzhou and began to examine his wounds, calling out anxiously at the same time.
"Leon, are you alright?"
Ada never expected that the young policeman she had only known for a short time would actually take a bullet for her.
"I'm fine." Fang Qingzhou sat up with a slight grimac. He was indeed alright. The effects of the intermediate-level Steelback Beast were no joke. The bullets were just embedded in his muscles and did not cause much damage.
He took out the emergency spray from his waist bag, intending to spray it on himself, but Ida snatched the spray from his hand, pressed down on his uninjured shoulder with one hand to keep him still, and began to treat his wound.
After spraying the entire bottle, Ada finally breathed a sigh of relief and then hugged Fang Qingzhou.
"Um...shouldn't we go after them...?" Fang Qingzhou said after a moment. Although it felt wonderful to have a beauty in his arms, he had important business to attend to.
The moment Fang Qingzhou spoke, Ada released her grip and stood up as quickly as if the hug had never happened.
"You're right, that woman shouldn't just walk away like that." She pulled her pistol from its holster, changed the magazine, and the slide-out motion was filled with anger.
The chemical plant's gate was a heavy metal door. Annie had triggered the emergency shutdown procedure when she escaped, and it was now completely closed, making it impossible to pass through.
"How should we catch up with them?" Fang Qingzhou stood up and asked.
Just then, Ada pulled out a strangely shaped gun.
